If you find yourself at the heart of the city, and on the hunt for some good coffee with a little something on the side, head for LOKL Coffee Co. (pronounced local) that's located on Jalan Tun H.S. Lee under the same roof as Backhome Hostel. Brewing both Western and local coffee, take your pick from espresso, lattes and cappuccinos or coffee the local way – buttery local blends, hand-filtered and served with sticky sweet condensed milk - you can also ask for your coffee to be less sweet, or unsweetened altogether. The kitchen serves comfort food with an Asian twist, with the menu inspired by American diners, French Cuisine, Colonial Hainanese dishes and old family recipes. Seasonal bestsellers include Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Pulled Beef Burger and Hainanese Meatloaf. If you're there early on weekedays, get your day off to a strong start with their selection of breakfast menu of eggs, bagels, pancakes and waffles. From homemade cakes to comforting desserts, you'll discover sweet treats to pair with your coffee (pssst: oder the mille crepe cakes by Food Foundry!). Those with an appetite for savoury dishes, fret not! They also have a lovely lunch menu to fit your appetites. With cute art decor and a homely space, this is the go-to cafe spot for passerbys or office crowds during tea or lunch time. Easily accessible via monorail or LRT train close to Masjid Jamek, you'll be happy to find this local style joint tucked along the bustling streets of Masjid Jamek and they also offer take away coffee for those who are on the go!
